[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tracker update today shows a lot of 6-plexes -- including two that appear to be next door to each other. I project parking challenges![/quote]

There is already construction at or near that location on 7th St S. I wonder if they were originally planning on SFHs and are pausing now. There is plenty of off street parking near that block. [/quote]

Two sixplexes is 12 units, obvioulsy. Twelve units occupied by at least two people is 24 cars.

Twenty four cars avergang 15 feet long is 360 feet. Thats a 1.2 football fields. Good luck finding that much parking.[/quote]

The plexes will be rentals so may have fewer cars, particularly if a non profit buys them and makes them affordable [/quote]

What nonprofit is buying and developing land?  Even the big affordable housing developers have to redevelop land they already own and get financing and loans just to do so. [/quote]

Arlington's Alliance for Housing Solutions is working with Habitat for Humanity to develop Missing Middle housing in Arlington.  They are not developing land, they are developing tear down lots.  It is very expensive to develop vacant lots for residences in Arlington because they generally have no impervious surfaces and need much more expensive storm water management.

Which tear downs have they purchased for MM housing?[/quote]

None. AHS is working with Habitat.  Do you think things like this happen overnight?   It will take years, but they are trying to make a difference for all the single moms who need housing in Arlington and can't afford it.  Arlington should not just be for people with husbands.  [/quote]

It’s ironic that you’re trying to stand up for “single moms” but you’ve made the only misogynist comment in this thread.  I know multiple [b]single moms making it in Arlington.[/b]  In the new builds even-  shocking I know, but women can do everything that men can do![/quote]

I can pay cash for my next N Arlington home (without tapping into my retirement).
